Improved drilling to boost Gulf of Mexico offshore oil output as US onshore growth slows
HOUSTON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Rigs drilling beneath the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico will drive U.S. oil industry growth this year and next as onshore production slows due to lower prices and maturing shale fields, and analysts and consultants expect the trend to continue as new technology and friendly regulations attract investment offshore.
The offshore oil and gas sector took a backseat to shale in recent years because drilling at sea requires years of construction work and higher upfront investments. Entry costs were lower for shale production and returns quicker, so rapid expansion in shale made the U.S. the world's top oil producer.
Now, technological improvements allow for high-pressure offshore drilling while U.S. President Donald Trump has brought in industry-friendly regulations. With the most prolific shale areas depleting in giant fields like the Permian, shale producers must shift drilling to less productive areas at higher prices.

BlackRock, Nvidia-backed group strikes $40 billion AI data center deal
Oct 15 (Reuters) - An investor group, including BlackRock and Nvidia (NVDA.O), will buy Aligned Data Centers from Macquarie Asset Management (MQG.AX) in a deal worth $40 billion, the companies said on Wednesday, as AI infrastructure expansion powers on.
The deal underscores an intensifying race to expand the costly, supply-constrained infrastructure required to develop artificial intelligence technology, as companies rush to build sophisticated AI models.

How old is this article? Is it a reprint from years ago? Because he talks about suddenly pivoting his data by “conversion rate” and having an AHA moment about how we measure success.
Except… conversion rate is a bone-standard, absolutely ubiquitous way to measure traffic quality in ecommerce. No one places ads without knowing how many of them lead to conversions. Defining your conversion event is often part of setting up an ad in the first place.
He then goes on to describe his hand-rolled script that analyses mouse movements to differentiate humans from bots.
Except… that’s exactly what the “I am human” checkbox from CloudFlare and Google have been doing for years.
CloudFlare have said that about 30% of Internet traffic is bots. This is well known. It could easily be 70% for some sites.
I would say that there’s nothing to see here, but it’s probably a little worse than that: just adding some really shaky analysis and anecdotal data to an already widely-covered topic. Are we actually going to trust an internet marketer’s hand-rolled mouse movements analysis over CloudFlare?
I’m not.

Opinions and insights
Russia has tortured Ukrainian POWs for years. Now they’re even more vulnerable.
On Sept. 29, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law withdrawing from the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture, symbolically making Russia the first country in history to abandon this anti-torture pact. Russia’s decision to quit Europe’s anti-torture convention is both a symbolic gesture of defiance and a concrete step with grave human rights consequences.

Al-Qassam Brigades Honor Secret ‘Shadow Unit’ after Prisoner Handover
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas, issued a tribute on Tuesday to the Shadow Unit, following the handover of Israeli soldiers who had been held captive by the resistance.
In a statement published on Telegram, the Qassam Brigades wrote: “A fitting tribute to the unknown soldiers of the Shadow Unit,” describing the group as responsible for protecting and concealing the prisoners held by the resistance, despite Israel’s persistent attempts to uncover their fate.
The Brigades added that the tribute was “for those who safeguarded the enemy’s prisoners throughout two years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada under the most difficult conditions, giving their effort and blood until the resistance’s promise of freedom for our prisoners was fulfilled.”

Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating
Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere soared by a record amount in 2024 to hit another high, UN data shows, deepening the climate crisis that is already taking lives and livelihoods across the world.
Scientists are worried that the natural land and ocean “sinks” that remove CO2 from the air are weakening as a result of global heating, which could form a vicious circle and drive temperatures up even faster. The global average concentration of the gas surged by 3.5 parts per million to 424ppm in 2024, the largest increase since modern measurements started in 1957, according to the report by the World Meteorological Organization.
Several factors contributed to the leap in CO2, including another year of unrelenting fossil fuel burning despite a pledge by the world’s countries in 2023 to “transition away” from coal, oil and gas. Another factor was an upsurge in wildfires in conditions made hotter and drier by global heating. Wildfire emissions in the Americas reached historic levels in 2024, which was the hottest year yet recorded.

About 40% of methane emissions come from natural sources. But scientists are concerned that global heating is leading to more methane production in wetlands, another potential feedback loop. The rest comes from fossil fuel exploitation; livestock such as cattle; rotting waste in landfills; and rice paddies. Human-caused nitrous oxide emissions include those from overuse of fertiliser by farmers and some industrial processes.
Add on to this all the new methane seeps they're discovering on the antarctic sea floor. Personally I think this will turn out to be a major tipping point. There is believed to be a lot of methane down there and methane, while short lived in the atmosphere, is a far more portent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

China retaliates in response to Dutch seizure of Nexperia, blocking chipmaker's exports following takeover — 861,000 square foot assembly site in Gaungdong affected as trade war spirals
China has blocked the export of certain products produced by the Dutch chip company, Nexperia, according to Bloomberg. This is the same company that the Dutch government recently seized from its Chinese parent company to prevent the transfer of what it called "crucial technological knowledge" from leaving the country. This action appears to be retaliatory and highlights the increasingly multi-polar world that is developing under the umbrella of rapid global expansion in AI capabilities, and a rush to secure important strategic chip development resources.
Chinese trade relations with Western nations have been far more fractious in 2025 than in years past. Following increasingly aggressive global trade policies, China has pivoted from integrating with the wider global economy to focusing more on shoring up its own semiconductor development and nearer-to-hand trading partners. Many Western nations have mirrored this in turn, with the Dutch government's latest actions appearing to be just one more example of nations ensuring their own supply of silicon above almost all else.

"china" started this and west "mirrored"
We’re too obsessed with the cult of personality in this country. It’s very difficult to get anyone to turn on a candidate, once voters decided they like the person. People don’t like admitting they were wrong, so a candidate really has to do something extreme to lose support they’ve gained, and make anyone re-evaluate.
Mamdani’s team knows this. Which is why he’s racing to compromise everything, hoping to add moderates to his base.
Poles hating russians makes sense historically, but historically Germans, both Prussian and Austrian , have been just as bad, if not worse with the nazis, so why don't they hate them too?
I think the "russophobia" today has more to do with current events than history. If Germany did anschluss 2 and invaded Austria, I think Poland would be just as scared of them.
Maybe, but those specific targets were more often than not killed. So yeah, people who survived may say the russians were worse because you can't ask a dead jew who they thought were worse. The Germans killed 36x as many people during the occupation. Yeah the soviets taking your shit and trying to suppress your culture and autonomy sucks but that's better than the Germans doing the same while sending a good chunk of the population to death camps
Again, I think that perspective is more shaded by the more recent soviet occupation after the war. If the nazis won and implemented their full lebensraum plans for Poland, nobody would be saying the russians were worse.
Some true, yet Austria did hit Poland only few times, while Germany, did that many times for over a millennium.
Germans are often hated, true, but for many, they are also allies in NATO, EU, Schengen and work market, so for many, they aren't bad anymore. I mean, for many, there still are, rarely because of history, but many polish nationalists, even nazis, view whole EU as bad, as EU is trying to unify Europe beyond what nationalism wants coexist with others. Polish vs German hate falls under nationalism vs globalism war currently.
But rus, they are good source for smuggling only, and always should be hated.

Teens Who Sued Hawai‘i Say Climate Plan For Aviation Doesn’t Fly
Rylee Brooke Kamahele helped forge a landmark legal settlement requiring Hawai‘i to eliminate carbon emissions from the state’s transportation system in the next 20 years, including cars on all islands, ships and airplanes used for interisland flights.
Now, Kamahele and other plaintiffs in the historic Navahine settlement are pushing back against a major element of the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation’s plan for reaching the goal. The issue: the department’s proposal to use what’s known as sustainable aviation fuel or SAF— essentially the airplane equivalent of biodiesel — for interisland flights.
The department’s proposed plan to use the fuel aligns with the view of the aviation industry and fuel producers — as well as a local grower of oily plants that can be converted into sustainable aviation fuel — that SAF is the most practical choice to reduce emissions.
